(Photo special to Hawaii 24/7 by Andrew Cooper)

Karin Stanton | Hawaii 24/7 Contributing Editor

If there are gonna be meteors, I’m gonna be in the back yard looking up.

I went outside, looked up, got cold and shuffled back inside to put on some socks.

Andrew Cooper, however, braved the cold, the snow and the dark to capture this photo.

We – your Hawaii 24/7 editors – used to think we were smarter than him because we were all toasty warm in our beds.

However, he got the most coolest photo of the Leonid meteor shower we have seen so far and that makes him very smart and very cool and very brave. Andrew wins.

He also knows way more than we do about astronomy and space and stuff, so check this out:
